  and would I lose any documents, etc, that I have on it?
 
 I wouldn't think so.

Cue the usual comment regarding keeping backups of important files,
particularly before performing any sort of upgrade...

[users] OO 2.0.2 on linux (FC5) slow under KDE

2006-04-04 Thread Chris Jones
Hi, 
 
 I'm running Fedora Core 5 and run the KDE desktop. Previously I have run 
other FC releases and OO has run just fine under KDE. However, with the 
latest FC5 version of )) (2.0.2) I have observed that OO causes KDE to run 
slowly, and runs slowly itself. Observerations I have made are 
 
 1. OO runs fine under gnome 
 2. Under KDE, the icons are different and generally the application is a lot 
less responsive. 
 3. Under some circumstances, such as when using impress and have a text box 
highlighted (i.e. with a grey box outline around it). Somehow OO causes the 
KDE desktop itself to become VERY slow (many seconds for menus to appear, 
whereas without OO running there are no delays). 
 
 I strongly suspect the KDE integration in this release is not working well. 
Has anyone else observed similar problems ? 
 
 Is there any way I can disable the KDE integration for tests ? 
 
 Chris

2006-04-04 Thread Chris Jones

  I suspect that it may be RedHats build that is the problem.
 Can you download and try the version of OOo from http://openoffice.org ?

Hi,

I tried, but all I get is

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /data/download/OO/OOB680_m5_native_packed-1_en-US.9011/RPMS 
 /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/simpress
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.

?

I should add - running from gnome via the desktop menu icon also does not work

[users] Configuring LDAP server connection

2005-02-02 Thread Chris Jones
I have OOo v1.1.3 running on Fedora Core 3. I am trying to configure OOo 
to access an openldap address book I am setting up, without much success.

When, following the instructions in the help screen, I select ToolsData 
SourcesGeneral and then select the data type Address Book, there is 
_not_ an option to select LDAP Address Book, only a Data Source URL of 
sdbc:address:evolution. What is missing here, and how do I install the 
missing element?

TIA

I think File  AutoPilot  Address Data Source would be better. Select
LDAP in the first dialogue box.
 

I am still getting an error. The error is:-
| Error while connecting to the data source
| A driver is not registered for the URL. sdbc:address:ldap
How do I correct this omission? what driver is required?
Thanks

[users] Configuring Address Book - howto implement link to openldap

2005-01-31 Thread Chris Jones
Apologies for repeating this question, but after 24 hours, no-one seems 
to have responded and I do rather need a solution to this question.

I am trying to configure an address book datasource using openldap. When
I run the wizard in Write, it comes up with the following error:
A driver is not registered for the URL sdbc:address:ldap. Can anyone
tell me what this means and how I can get this feature implemented?
I am running OpenOffice on Fedora Core 3 (OOo v1.1.3). I have my
openldap address book set up with a sample of addresses and now want to
set this up in OOo.
